Microsoft Edge is the second most used browser on the web, making the browsing experience more flexible, offering many more services for users and optimized for Windows devices.

Microsoft Edge supports Chromium extensions, and you can publish your extensions to Microsoft Edge Add-ons website with minimal code changes. Find out more here.

If you have any more queries about porting Chrome extension to Microsoft Edge or anything else, you can contact the relevant teams whose links are given here.

Let me know if this was helpful. I am happy to provide you with more information.

Hi @nagachaitanyalokam, you can already run this extension in Edge. You can just install it from the Chrome Web Store. I did it myself and it works just fine.

@cschiller I was able to successfully install this extension using the link to the chrome extension store that edge directs users to should they not find something in the edge add-ons website. Some screen shots of some steps I took, and final one as proof. I'm not an edge user and simply opened Edge, navigated to the extensions menu then looked for this extension, and found it on the chrome web store after seeing your comment to look there. At this time, as a user who would want this extension on Edge, I don't personally think it's necessary to do anything more at this time and to spend time and future maintenance for an edge store item, when the chrome one is already sufficient.

Hi @danielslabo, Yes, you can install extensions in Edge from the Chrome Web Store, and that's what you have successfully done. :) That's what I was referring to in my earlier comment above. Most Chrome extensions should also work in Edge, and if they do you can install them from the Chrome Web Store. So I see no need for adding them to a separate app store, which also needs to be maintained. Thanks for your feedback!
